'Marriage,' Blankenhorn has written, 'is a gift that society bestows on its children.' Very cleverly put, yet very badly wrong. It is difficult to know where to begin a critique of this guy's thinking, since so many will accept his major premise without considering that it is flat wrong.

Now how exactly offering marriage to ~1.5% of the population (homosexuals are roughly 3% of the population overall, and saying even half of those ever have an interest in marriage is generous) is supposed to save in institution for the other 98.5% seems rather dubious.

It’s amusing that the Left would have become so attached to marriage now since they spent to many decades trying to kill it.

Gay “marriage” is a mockery of a sacrament that most religions (Christian and non-Christian) consider holy.

I considered it to be equivalent to conducting baptisms with dog excrement instead of water.

Marriage is an institution only to the view of the State. The State has implemented civil unions to satisfy the needs of the non-religious and homosexuals to throw a party and and so that homosexuals can pretend their arrangement has legitimacy.

But it is not marriage, and calling it marriage only destroys marriage.

Blankenhorns personal transformation has resulted in a welcome shift in the public debate. How clever of him to recognize that his allies in strengthening marriage are the very people who for so long have been excluded.

Kathleen is an idiot, and a fake conservative. She looks and sounds like one on occasion in order to fool some of the people some of the time.

The only thing that will strengthen marriage are young men and women trained in virtue and dedicating their marriage to God.

Two homos or two lesbos cannot pretend enough to accomplish those requirements.
